My field teams are already stretched thin. Will this add to their workload?

No. If reports are tedious, it gets skipped, rushed, or written from memory days later. This is the reason most daily reporting fails. Shape is built around how site teams already communicate. Site teams log progress and issues from a messaging app as they work. Those logs feed into the daily report, and the rest pre-fills from the previous report, so completing it takes minutes rather than an hour. You also see a completeness score on every report, so you know who’s reporting properly and who needs coaching, in the same week rather than months later.

How is this different from the daily reports in Procore or our current system?

Most daily report tools give you a form and hope people complete it. They also sit apart from your schedule, so someone has to re-enter the information later. Shape captures the report from everyday site activity and links it directly to your schedule activities. You get more detail (progress, resources, downtime, photos, issues) with less effort from the field, and nothing to re-key.

How do I know the records are complete enough to defend a claim?

Shape includes built-in quality monitoring that shows you documentation completeness across your team. You see who’s capturing detailed records and who needs coaching. Each record gets a completeness score based on required information. This means you can identify and fix gaps proactively, not when it’s too late.

What’s included in a Shape daily report?

Each report captures progress on scheduled work, resource allocations (people hours, equipment hours, materials used), downtime events with reasons, and any issues affecting the work, with photo evidence attached. Reports pre-fill from the previous day, so they stay quick to complete.

Can we link daily reports to our schedule?

Yes. Import activities from P6, Asta, or MS Project, and site teams report against those activities. Shape’s daily reports lets you see how each day’s work maps to the plan instead of reading reports in isolation.

How do we get the same standard of report from subcontractors as from our own teams?

Every report prompts for the same details, whoever completes it, so what comes back is comparable across shifts and across subcontractors. Each report gets a completeness score based on the detail it contains, so you can see who’s falling short and address it specifically rather than sending blanket reminders.

LEADING CONTRACTORS USE SHAPE TO GET RELIABLE DAILY PROGRESS REPORTS

THE PROBLEM IS...

The daily reports you get back don't tell you much

Time-consuming forms don't get completed

Field teams skip daily reports because they're tedious. Reports come in late, get written up from memory at the end of the week, or never arrive at all.

Critical information is missing

What you get back is thin. No detail on downtime or resources, photos with no context, and no way of knowing what's been left out until you go looking.

Nothing connects the day to the plan

Daily reports and your schedule are separate records. Reading one tells you nothing about the other, and reconciling them is a manual job someone has to do.

Use Shape to 1get a complete report from every shift, 2hold teams accountable for report quality, and 3turn daily reports into usable records.

Reporting happens where site teams already communicate

Site teams communicate, share photos, log progress, and raise issues in Channels, Shape’s messaging app. Those logs feed straight into the daily report, so most of it is written before anyone sits down to complete it.

A daily report that takes minutes, not an hour

Progress and issues logged from site appear in the report automatically, and the rest pre-fills from the previous report, so teams check what's there and add what's missing.

Every daily report covers:

Progress on scheduled work
Resource allocations (people hours, equipment hours, materials used)
Downtime events with reasons
Photo evidence attached to each item

Hold teams accountable for report quality

Know who's reporting well and who isn't

Each daily report gets a completeness score based on the detail it contains. See who's capturing progress, allocations, and downtime properly, and who needs coaching, without reading every report yourself.

The same level of detail, whoever's on shift

Every report prompts for the same details, whether it's your own team or a subcontractor. You're not reconciling four different reporting styles at the end of the month.

Turn daily reports into useful records
